Series 2, Episode 3 - A Losing Streak
Further details
Del is getting into financial trouble - even his double-headed coin can't help him win. He's gambling away his money with no sign of stopping, and he's already £150 down.
Nevertheless, when Boycie challenges him to a winner-takes-all poker game, Del is eager to host it in his flat in Mandela House.
As the night progresses, Del's luck goes from bad to worse as he ends up owing Boycie all his money, the TITCO van, Grandad's cash, jewellery and even a collection of loose change.
But all is not lost, as Del finally turns the tables on Boycie in revenge for fixing all the previous card games in his favour.
